Shattered hope

 


Screams internal,

soon become echoes,

eternally drilling

into your skull,

a shrill siren song pull.

Shattering mirrors and glass.

Overhead, thunderclouds of hurt amass,

as the twinkling sound

of cracking bottles and flasks

erupts into a cacophonous roar,

like an elongated nuclear war

being fought.

all had turned to dust

and in the bomb blast 

hope was caught.

 

Farewell,

he says to no-one.

The room empty,

hope long gone.

The lights dulled.

Over the loss he mulled

and deep into reflection

his heart is pulled.

 

Jagged reminders,

cracked mind

of the writer.

Slivers cut ribbons into

already torn fingers.

Uneven, sharp pieces,

Knife edged hope

always decreases.

 

With one final bow,

the cast had departed.

Alone now.

Hope

was for the wholehearted.

His heart lay scattered,

in fragments shattered

randomly over the carpet,

the clouds over his eyes parted

and the rains fell,

icy shards of hope discarded.

 

With a wave

and a sorrowful sigh

he said goodbye.

Icicle tears

falling from his eyes,

smashing into the ground,

shattered hope

lays all around.
